SOC 2 Section 3

SOC 2 Section 3, also known as the “system description,” is a requirement of the SOC 2 standard. The system description, which is included in Section III of a SOC 2 report, provides important details about the personnel, processes, and technology that support your product or service.

It is a summary of your organization and its systems. It should also include information on how the organization’s systems are monitored and tested, as well as any third-party service providers that are used to support the organization’s systems.
